January's theme: Power and Discomfort Message: Radical Hospitality Speaker: Rev Pat Trudeau Music: Spirit Choir Time for All Ages: In the words of Rev. Renee Ruchotzke, "To be radically hospitable is to have a congregational norm that is radically inclusive, not out of duty, but out of our anticipation of how each new person will change us". This Service will examine and celebrate the ways we welcome and accept one another with all of our unique differences.

January's theme: Power and Discomfort Jan 21: No Contest Speaker: Rev Lynn Harrison Music: Eve Goldberg The desire for power and "winning" is a familiar theme in our world, not only in international conflicts but in our personal relationships and careers. How would our lives change if we took down the ladders of competition that have so preoccupied us? This can be part of UU "8th Principle" work as well our own spiritual growth. Working alongside musical colleague Eve Goldberg, Rev. Lynn Harrison reflects on the subject of competition and power, drawing on spiritual teachers such as Thich Nhat Hanh and others. Bio: Rev. Lynn Harrison was ordained at Neighbourhood UU Congregation in 2015 after receiving her Master of Divinity degree from Emmanuel College at the University of Toronto. She served on the ministry team of First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto from 2016 to 2023 and currently provides guest ministry for several Unitarian congregations throughout southern Ontario. She is also a recognized singer-songwriter who has performed widely throughout Canada and the U.S. She released her seventh solo album, _Treasure,_ in 2023.

January's theme: Power and Discomfort Jan 14: Whomever You Love: Polyamory Guest Speaker: Liz James - Mirth and Dignity Music: Susanne and Friends At Liz James’ first UU Service, the worship leader said, “We welcome you as you are. With your doubts as well as your convictions. With your hopes, and your fears. Whatever your faith, whatever your heritage, whomever you love.” She wondered if that meant her family, too. Come hear about polyamory and Unitarian Universalism -- the challenges, the wonderful moments, and the tremendous opportunity.
